Thread: Building My Own Self-Hosted Kanban Because Nothing Else Fit
I tried every self-hosted kanban board I could find. None of them showed subtasks the way I needed. So I built my own — with an MCP server so my AI agents can manage it too.
Hermes Workspace: Deploying the Web UI for Hermes Agent on Kubernetes
How to build and deploy Hermes Workspace on Kubernetes — including a custom Dockerfile to work around pnpm 10 build script restrictions, a Forgejo Actions pipeline, and an overview of Conductor, Operations, and Swarm.
Self-Hosted AI Agents on Kubernetes: What Works and What Doesn't
OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, and Hermes Workspace all run on Kubernetes — but not without friction. A honest look at what works, what breaks, and why these tools weren't designed for container orchestration.
Building a Self-Hosted AI Agent Swarm on Kubernetes with kagent
How I built a multi-agent AI swarm on my Talos Kubernetes cluster using kagent, Ollama, and OpenWebUI — with real Azure DevOps integration.
Deploying Hermes Agent on Kubernetes: A Full Walkthrough
A detailed walkthrough of deploying Hermes Agent on a Kubernetes cluster using Helm — covering security context fixes, dashboard setup, MCP integration, and crafting a custom SOUL.md identity.
Hermes Agent: Parallel Delegation with Separate Models
How Hermes Agent's delegation system spawns parallel subagents using a separate model — and why routing orchestration and execution through different LLMs makes practical sense.
Jairix — A fully self-hosted AI agent that planned my road trip through Spain
How I built a fully self-hosted AI agent on a consumer laptop — and used it to plan a 45-day camper trip through Luxembourg, France, and Spain, without sending a single byte to an external cloud service.
Living With an AI Agent: Daily Workflows, Skills Integration, and What Actually Works
What does it actually look like to work with a personal AI agent day-to-day? Real workflows combining MCP servers, OpenClaw skills, and 4 weeks of production usage patterns. The good, the unexpected, and the genuinely useful.
Skills vs MCP Servers and the Future of Personal AI Agents
After building both OpenClaw skills and MCP servers, what did I learn about the right abstraction layer? And where are personal AI agents heading in the next 5 years? A reflection on tooling, standards, and the shift from AI-as-service to AI-as-infrastructure.
